Q&A with Boddington

[mark-hunter]

It turns out...Facebook saves these. I pinned the FB live to the top of the page. All the answers are in there.

Conrad, this worked!

Many thanks for the effort!

And, of course, thanks to Craig for all the patience answering numerous questions!

Have enjoyed Craig’s work in sports afield magazine as well as his books-spent a lot on the last book but loved reading about places and people I have come to recognize. The female hunters in my home appreciate the inclusion of his wife and daughters in his adventures. I have always wished he would write more about the bullets he uses. Lots on caliber but not very often which bullet he used. Maybe when you are close friends in the industry or something but something I am always curious about. . .

Pheroze I was interested in his response to 400HH vs the 416 but Facebook clip wants me to join and I refuse. I did however have a chance to ask Mr boddington what he thought of the 400HH at dallas a couple of years ago. He said he liked it a lot but still liked the404J Hate speaking for someone else but hate Facebook more

I didn't see a response to it on the live chat unfortunately. I am starting to suspect this is not a common caliber

 

[jacques smith]

Pheroze. Not common but owners of 400HH not common either

Conrad typing here. I've filmed Craig's shows for over a decade and am helping him with some of his online activity.

Now that we've realized what a resource this site is, we're going to try something. Craig gets quite a few questions at our booths, but we also know many of you don't make the conventions. If you have a question you've always wanted to ask him, please share and I'll get his answer for you as quickly as I can. I'll relay the questions since he's on the move so much and has a million obligations.

What question would you ask Craig if you ran into him at a convention?

The only question I would as him is why does he get shitty with PHs when he is having an off day. Surely the don't deserve this treatment, but they still have to be nice to him because he is the client. Chill Craig everyone has an off day but be nice

 

[MarkB]

I have no question.

I have never had the pleasure of meeting him yet, but do have the ultimate respect and admiration for him. I would shake his hand and give him an honest from the heart thank you. For his Military Service and sacrifice (we were deployed at same time once). For what he has done and continues to do for our passion, for the joy he has brought my family and I with his videos, TV show, and books, for keeping all real, no BS, honest conversations, no zoom ins as a walking advertisement. A true ambassador.

Thank You Mr Boddington.

Craig, would you like to introduce me to Brittany? Does she like Australia? Stay well keep making movies and putting them on you tube please.

 

[sestoppelman]

Well considering this is a year old and a half old thread and CB is no longer on the forum,,, sadly, further posts directed at him are wasted. For those that don't know he was a member here but left after taking an incessant bashing over his bankruptcy, personal finances and whether or not he gets freebie hunts!
I don't want to get into it all over again, but some here are shall we say, not fans of the Col.

 

[MarkB]

Should have looked at tread dates. I had/have no idea about other things.

Agree with all you said it's just there is 2 sides to a coin

 

[JGRaider]

I'd still like to know how he has managed to hunt all over the world, keep his custom rifles, etc after filing bankruptcy and screwing his creditors by not paying bills he owed. Seems like a reasonable question to me and a few others around here.

 

[MarkB]

Spent an hour of life "internet" snooping, I am no hero worshipper of anyone I do not know first hand, judged my opinion above based solely on the joy his books, mag readings and videos have provided my family, and agree Brittany is an easy to look at lady, my Ex wife always said differently, called her fake with makeup. Yes there seams to be another side of the coin I had no idea about. It is the internet so no real verified facts. Now I am somewhat jaded and educated.

It's called Persevorating.

An EMT's view:
"I’ve found that repetitive questioning is common with trauma, and head injuries specifically. I know that doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone, but I seem to have noticed that the more “damaged” a person is, the shorter the questioning ‘loop’, as well as the time between it being repeated."

Known fact in Africa one of his daughter's shot a PH in the arm with a 458 win mag, wasn't to healthy after that.
Never heard anything about it outside Africa.
